RÚN New Gaelic vocal group set up by Brona McVittie of Forestbrook; our repertoire includes Irish Gaelic and other Celtic songs, sung with 4-5 voices plus Brona's harp, in original arrangements and harmonies. So far, Rún has performed at venues including the Battersea Arts Centre, the Ritzy Cinema Cafe, and the Union Chapel. See www.forestbrook.info/run and www.myspace.com/runceol - click here for link:
Other occasional or previous groups including British folksong: THE SCENIC ROUTE Duo with guitarist Mick Rodwell - see the Chanson/Jazz page. DAVID BURNS Previous duo with this dynamic and lively mandola player - strong and original arrangements of dramatic folksongs and others. WAYWARD GRACE (see previous page): Our repertoire also included some unusual harmony songs from England and Scotland. THE ALICE IN WONDER BAND Delightful folk band including Mick Rodwell, Gill Warnell on accordion and concertina, and Kay Tierney on mandolin (all previously from ceilidh band Highly Strung), and myself on vocals. Got together in 2002 for some performances at folk clubs, events, and a spot at the 12 Bar Club, until Kay's return to Ireland. Repertoire included songs and instrumental tunes, from Ireland, the UK and Brittany.
